SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN.
From the Lcavsnworth Times.

| From the Leavsnworth Times
If Senator Sherman is campaigning ir
the interest of a presidential nomination
for himself, he is campaigning well
He has adopted the strongest of all tao
| tics-a straight fight on party lines; and
| fortifies himself with the most impenetra
BILE armor-the unblemished record of the
grand old Republican party.
We draw these conclusions from his
speech yesterday before the Illinois legis-
lature published elsewhere in the Times
this morning.
1t is splendid speech, replete with facts
and unanswerable arguments. There is a
refreshing absence of rhetorical attempt,
yet the simplicity of the language employ
ed is as beautiful and grand as its argu-
ments are convincing. 1t is a speech
such as no one but Sherman could make
1t is calculated to emphasize the party's
satisfaction with its past record as well as
to inspire enthusiasm over the work yet to
be accomplished
We are more than ever satisfied that
Sherman is the strongest man that the Re
pubiicans can nominate for the presidency
He is the man to carry New York He
is the man to carry Indiana. He is the
man to carry Ohio He is the man to
unite all factions of the party. He is the
man to command the support Of the solid
business of the country. He is a man of
and for the people Let the Republican
party nominate him

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

There is growing danger from contrac
ton of the currency and the increase of the
treasury surplus. The officers Of the treas
ury are evidently alarmed by the situation,
and are considering all kinds of means for
preventing the threatened evil According
to the late treasury statement the surplus
will be much greater than was anticipated.
The former secretary's, Mr.. Mannings, es
Inmates were 1856, 10000 for receipts and
S314 600, 900 for expenditures. Owing to
the failure of the river and harbor bill and
the deficiency bills. the expenditures will
only be about 1896, 100000. The surplus
at the end of the current year will there
fore be $104, 600, 900, and it is estimated
that the surplus of 1888 will be in the
Leighborhood of 1925, 900, 0Oe.

ELECTRIC BILL SIGNALS.

The Santa Fe Railroad has equipped its
Topeka and Kansas City accommodation
train with electric signal bells and an cleo
trio attachment for releasing the air brakes
The attachment has been in use about a
week and the trainmen are perfectly de-
lighted with IL The greatest trouble that
has been experienced with the Nesting-
house brakes in the past is that they would
sometimes stick to the wheels and it would
require from three quarters of minute TO
five minutes to look the train over and let
the air out of the chambers before it could
start. Under the new arrange
ment the brakes can be released instant
ly by the engineer touching an electric but
ton. Another electric system has also
been arranged to take the place Of the bell
cord, which in long trains has been found
Ineffective Under the electric signal code,
the conductor can touch an electric button
in any of the coaches and 1t blows small
whistle in the engine. The engineer
touches button in the cab. which rings q
small bell in all the coaches, signifying
that he has heard the signal. All the pas
senger trains on the system viii be equipped
in the same manner Is soon Is the work
can be done.

FOR BLAINE

After the delivery of John Sherman
great speech at Springfield, Ill, the re
porters of the Globe Democrat were put te
work interviewing members as to thei1
choice for president in 1885, Blaine leads
the list with forty-six and Sherman fol
lows with nineteen. These men to a Ger
tain extent represented the Republicans of
Illinois. There was one point developed
that we think is true Of the country at
large And that was, whether these men
were for Blaine or not in very many cases
they added, "our people are for Blaine -
There may be differences of opinion among
politicians as to the ACCESSIBILITY of running
this or that man for president, because
they count the elements necessary to insure
success. The fact remains, however, that
the instincts of the great masses compris
ing the Republican party are for James G.
Blaine.

A SONNET.

This came to my mind this Afternoon
while walking your streets / am amazed al
your city, yet at the same time can account
for its growth and for its continued growth
If the Sonnet is worth publishing you may dc
so, if not, consign it to the waste basket
BY L. NJ. P.
A city, great and powerful, now stands
Where but little while ago was none;-
Such growth was never seen in any lands;
Such victory DER the prairie meier was won,
Not only people throng her busy streets,
But buildings great and tall are everywhere:
Here stately block, the handsome cottage
meets:
And all breaths life and grow tia city
fair
Why should this city deck the prairie grand
And grow and beantify, in days to come!
Because with the development of land,
The prairie, will to many, be home
Where now the vergin soil, the plow will go;
Here needs city, Wichita must grow

STATE SOCIALISM.

The New York Sun, in commenting
upon proposition made by Chicago law
yer that the state should step in to prevent
such strikes and lockouts as are now put
ting stop to building operations in Chi
cago, and have played such havoc with
business elsewhere, says:
Not the least serious consequence of the
existing labor troubles is the impetus they
give to the drift Of public sentiment in
favor of state socialism. Great strikes not
only cause distress and loss to
those who are Immediately concerned
in them, but they gravely incon-
venience the community at large A sud
den or prolonged cessation of any import
ant branch of industry extends to all its
affiliated branches, and is felt by people
apparently far removed from its influence.
In the evaporation of the moment
clamor for government interference arises
and a willingness is created or confirmed
to submit to any kind of state regulation
which may promise to prevent a recurrence
of the evil.
If Mr.. Bonney stood alone in this opinion
it would not signify much, but apparently
logical outcome of the great combinations
which h I'VE been formed during the past few
years, of employers on the one side and en-
ployed on the other, is to raise up within the
state power at least equal to that of the
state, and performing many of its func-
lions. The boycott and the lockout are an
exercise of quasi government powers and
the inference naturally arises that they
should either be suppressed or regulated
by the political authority. 1t is intolerable
that citizen should be deprived of his
right to labor or his right to do business by
the DEGREES of irresponsible tribunals; and
when these DEGREES affect, as they do at
his moment in Chicago, great multitudes
Of citizens. the infiction becomes irritating. |
The oftener such things occur and the |
onger they are continued, the more a great
many people will become aroused against |
hem and detirminen to find some means !
20 prevent them An obvious method,
which hasty thinkers seem to fancy, is for
he state to take the whole matter in hand,
IS Mr.. Bonney proposes; and while such
lovel sort Of disposition would be some
'ver yet thought of submitting, it may
com to many preferable to conflict like
hat now going forward.
But In this case, Is in the great strikes
# last year, the course of wisdom is to let
he evil cure itself, as it is sure to do soon
r or later. The whole polity of this re-
'ublic cannot be revolutionized by build
ng lockout or strike in Chicago. The
My right government for the United
tates Is that which governs least.

LANDED NABOBS.

Senator Piatt was amazed to find thu
Osages, numbering about 1900 people
having reservation of 1 ,500,O0O acres OF
land. But here are some other cases
which will perhaps surprise the senator and
other people: The Iowas, numbering 81
people, hold 22S, Ais acres, most of which
they have leased to a cattle company, con
trary to law. The Kickapoos number 24C
people; they hold 206, AGO acres The
Quawpaws %, and hold sc, 6S5 acres. The
eastern Shawnees number 80 persons and
hold 1908 acres. The Kansas number
2e5 persons; they hold so, 301 acres. The
whole Indian Territory, so called, con-
tains over "A, 1000, 600 acres of land, and

is derived from the German tunken, to dip.
